AceShowbiz - Ben Affleck proudly wore his wedding ring as he left his Los Angeles office on Wednesday, June 26 despite alleged ongoing marital issues with his wife, Jennifer Lopez. Affleck cut a sharp figure in a navy blue suit and white button-up shirt, carrying a large black duffel bag as he made his way to a parking garage.
The actor's commitment to his marriage was evident, as he was seen wearing his wedding ring just days after being spotted without it during a lunch outing with his daughter, Violet.
On the same day, Jennifer Lopez reunited with Affleck after returning from a solo vacation to Italy. The singer was photographed in the passenger seat, driven to Affleck's Los Angeles office while hiding her face behind large sunglasses.
Lopez recently returned from a European getaway, where she soaked up the sun in Positano, Italy, and attended Paris Fashion Week in France. "Jen loves vacationing in Europe during the summer. It's been nice for her to experience a change of pace and have some breathing room," a source told ET.
During her trip, she enjoyed various activities, including fun dinners, late nights, and shopping sprees. Meanwhile, Affleck, who prefers a more low-key lifestyle, stayed back in Los Angeles.
Their time apart has fueled speculation about a possible split. However, the couple, who tied the knot in 2022, continues to put up a united front. Affleck expressed his admiration for Lopez's immense popularity, highlighting how her fame often overshadows his own in a candid interview with Kevin Hart on Peacock's "Hart to Heart".
While Lopez was away, Affleck spent quality time with his children from his previous marriage to Jennifer Garner and with Lopez's twins, Max and Emme. Despite the challenges, both parties appear committed to making their marriage work. A source close to the couple shared with ET that they are fully aware of their issues but are determined to fix things because of their love for each other.
Lopez's trip also brought back memories from her 2021 vacation with Affleck in Amalfi Coast, Italy, now enjoyed in solitude. She chose to travel modestly on a commercial flight from Naples to Paris, drawing attention to her different approach during this journey.
Back in Los Angeles, their recent real estate decision further underscores their ongoing efforts to find stability. The couple is attempting to sell their $60.8 million home in Beverly Hills just a year after purchasing it. Amid these personal endeavors, Lopez also announced the cancellation of her "This Is Me...Now: The Greatest Hits" tour to spend more time with her family, further emphasizing her priorities during these tumultuous times.
